The time is the late 1950's the place, a small
village in Lancashire. Hurrying to a barn with
three rescued kittens, Cathy, a schoolgirl,
discovers a stranger hiding there. Her simple
faith proclaims him immediately as Jesus
Christ and in wonder she tells her sister Nan
and her brother Charles. They decide to tell
nobody, but gradually word spreads through
the children of the village. Anxious to protect
their Jesus from unbelieving adults, they
keep His arrival a secret besides, most
of their parents are preoccupied with news
of a convict on the loose in the area. Trouble
starts when the village bully, Raymond,
threatens to give the game away...
Adapted from the much loved film and novel,
this critically acclaimed musical shows just
how powerful love can be when the
innocence of childhood collides with
the cynicism of the adult world.

Tessa Drummond musical director
